Aonymous says,

“About four hundred years ago, an anonymous theologian published an article arguing that mankind will receive another divine revelation sometime before the year 3120. He reasoned that by that time, the Resurrection of Christ itself will have taken place so long ago that mankind will have completely forgotten about it, thus necessitating a new miracle.”

I keep explaining that everybody forgets everything. The stuff that everybody is frantically e-mailing each other about will be forgotten tomorrow. It is SO nice to hear that somebody four centuries ago poined out that if Jesus Christ came back to earth on Judgement Day it would be front page news, but people wouldn’t take all that long to forget it.

As I said, in the middle of all the waves of news about the first Iraq War and Clinton sex scandals and the second Iraq War and the meat shortage and all the rest, this country almmost had an instant revolution when Ross Perot first said he would be willing to run for president.

What happened was that everybody e-mailed each other about how Perot was a nut and all the rest. The fact that a major part of the system almost went down was instantly forgotten.

Everybody forgot the Perot phenomenon and talked about Perot himself.

I have my eyes on the phenomenon. It completely contradicts everything everybody says about the Immovable Establishment.

In the midst of my earnest efforts to remind people of this, Anonymous points out that someone pointed out four centuries ago that Judgement Day itself would be soon forgotten.

I got a much-needed laugh out of that.
